When I restarted the Prologue mode for Vergil, I was greeted by a swarm of Empusa on the first fight of the prologue. Legendary Dark Knight mode is what was advertised – a special difficulty level for the most skilled of players – and it wasn’t overselling at all. It’s a pretty good treat for fans of Vergil to be able to play this mode and is quite possibly the biggest selling point of the game besides getting to play in a heightened graphical state. They are quite short in length, about five to ten minutes apiece and it’ll be cool to return to Vergil’s once in a while. Story-wise, it follows the same trajectory as Dante/Nero/V mode and for newcomers, it would be recommended to play the original story mode to understand what’s going on. Instead of the cocky, hot blooded style that Dante and Nero embodies, Vergil is definitely the polar opposite. Vergil, despite being the calm and calculated one, doesn’t shy away from the cool factor and the style points they’ve put into the level design and it extends to his brother. On the PS4, you’ll have time in between levels to grab a beer and eat some chips, but you’ll be wanting to find that time again in the special edition, because you’ll be in and out of levels in the blink of an eye. However, compared to the PS4, it is definitely a graphical advantage.Īpart from all the talk of resolution and frames, one more thing that the special edition has going for it because of the new hardware is the loading times, which are almost non-existent in the game. However, there are subtle differences between performance and graphics mode in ray tracing that the untrained eye won’t be able to notice much.

So you could play Vergil Mode and the regular mode in the full power of the PS5. Note that the ray tracing is switched off for Legendary Dark Knight and Turbo mode. Pop Quiz: Can you even tell which one is graphics enhanced or performance enhanced with the screenshots? Here are the modes that you can play around with in the Special Edition: The fast and frantic action that defines a Devil May Cry game is here and is front and center, and with all the hacking and slashing going on, I’m pretty sure that you’ll have absolutely no time to feast your eyes on reflections. Our personal choice? 4K 60fps with raytracing off. It always boils down to visuals versus performance, but for a fast paced game such as this, hitting frames north of 60fps is the best way to go. The PS5 is built to handle the various modes that the special edition has, and there are a number of choices. Ray tracing was the very first thing to be shown as one of the main selling points of the game, but if you’re a sucker for 4K visuals, you have to switch the ray tracing off.
From what I could gather from playing the game, it looks damn sweet, enough to make you want to play it all over again. Capcom has pulled out all the stops to give the game a second look, featuring fan favorite Vergil, the Legendary Knight Edition, and of course ray tracing to keep up with the times. With four mainline games and a reboot, the title is no slouch in creating that fast paced action game that’s a bit of a break from the dark and brooding mainline titles of this year.
